My Hardbody Buildup

[95PGHB]

Started one on the other site... but I figured since I will spend most of my time here I should get it on here to!!!

The only fab parts that I bought for this setup were the upper and lower bag mounts front and rear... Everything else I built!!! I think it turned out nice allthough there are many things I would do different if I could do it over!!!

Not to bad for a first time job!!!

Here is the only pic I have of the front:

i love the notches still.... u want this moved to the build up section???

[95PGHB]

Thanks,

[sparkinframe]

i love the link bar mounts...freakin sexy!

[drginazzhb92]

yeahh man your truck is nice....i need spindles for the front of mine to fully lay too...

[layedoutnissan]

Nice work.

[88mini]

I like those axle tabs. Damn badass.

[tattoos&minitrucks]

nice work ...

[O.G.Tierdrop]

nice looking set-up :thumb:

[scr8pnHard]

Looking great!! Nice work

[autotrader]

looks good

[95PGHB]

well I guess I can update this thread... I did manage to get a set of spindles so now it lays out like it supposed to!!!! Havent got any pics yet cause it to damn cold out there!!!

I also built some mounts for a nitro bottle... Im gonna try to fit a 280 bottle in the back... The only thing that concerns me about running this big of a bottle is the fact of weight being at the very back of the bed.... It seems to be that the added weight will make it hard on the notched section of the frame... anyway... here is a pic of the mounts... Just gonna run a strap over the bottle to secure it...

Not to bad but not at all what I wanted(ran out of material and had to make due)

[BlackdOut93]

sweet man, looks good! keep up the work...

[95PGHB]

Well I got the bottle in and plumbed... I still think that Im gonna go with a smaller bottle cause this one barely fits and is a huge bitch to get in and out...

I figured I could post a couple pics of the air management and the rear suspension since I never posted any "finished" pics...

It seems you're set-up looks really strong, I don't think you'll have to worry. Truck looks badass!

[Fubar4774]

Looks good, get some paint on there and have a sweet ride.

[homewrecker]

Where did you get the axle tabs?

[95PGHB]

I made them...

[AnimosityMinis]

[97xenissan]

what size of tires are those are they 225/40/18? if so do they rub the firewall when laid out?

[95PGHB]

[king93nissan]

[88hb]
